Japanese

まだ咲かせたい　まだ終われない
まだ消えてない　咲き続けたい

描いていた夢は　今はすでに壊れていて
泣いていた夜さえ　思い出すことが出来ない
かすかに聞こえてる　貴方がくれたこの鼓動
まだ止まりはしない

何もないよりマシだわ　貴方くれたこの命
まだ燃え尽きていないし　まだ先みようとしてる
何もないわけじゃないし　手も足もまだ動くし
だから私は止まらない

Romaji

mada sakasetai mada owarenai
mada kietenai saki tsuzuketai

egaiteita yume wa ima wa sude ni kowareteite
naiteita yoru sae omoidasu koto ga dekinai
kasuka ni kikoeteru anata ga kureta kono kodou
mada tomari wa shinai

nanimonai yori mashi dawa anata kureta kono inochi
mada moetsuki kite naishi mada saki miyou to shiteru
nanimonai wake janaishi te mo ashi mo mada ugokushi
dakara watashi wa tomaranai

Long Version

Japanese

まだ咲かせたい　まだ終われない まだ消えてない　咲き続けたい 描いていた夢は　今はすでに壊れていて 泣いていた夜さえ　思い出すことが出来ない かすかに聞こえてる　貴方がくれたこの鼓動 まだ止まりはしない 何もないよりマシだわ　貴方くれたこの命 まだ燃え尽きていないし　まだ先みようとしてる 何もないわけじゃないし　手も足もまだ動くし だから私は止まらない なんにもなかった　この私　絶望の淵 でも生きていた　まだ今も　貴方の命？ 貴方の代わり　いつだって　忘れられない もう一度咲くためだけ 描いていた夢は　新たな夢と重なった 大きな希望へと　思いは枯れ果てないまま かすかに聞こえてる　貴方がくれたこの鼓動 まだ止まることなく 何もないから楽なの？　何もないのが怖いよ まだ終わること出来ない　鼓動が前に進むの 貴方がくれた物なの　動き続ける鼓動は だから私は止まらず ただ咲いていた　雨の中　やむのを待って ただ咲いていた　まだ今も　貴方のために？ 代わりでもいい　いつだって　忘れないから いつまでも咲いていたい 何もないよりマシだわ　貴方くれたこの命 まだ燃え尽きていないし　まだ先みようとしてる 何もないわけじゃないし　手も足もまだ動くし だから私は止まらない
